Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

What is the First Lesson Guarantee?

Your first lesson is your chance to meet your tutor and make sure they're the perfect fit. If for any reason you're not completely satisfied, we'll find you another tutor for free. We're committed to helping you find the right teacher to achieve your goals.

Do I need my own bass guitar for online lessons?

Yes, you will need your own bass guitar and a small amplifier to get the most out of your lessons. Your tutor can provide expert advice on suitable gear for your level and budget if you're looking to upgrade.

How much do Grade 4-5 bass guitar lessons cost?

The price of lessons varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can view each tutor's hourly rate on their profile. With a wide range of expert tutors, you can find one that fits your budget.

What will I learn in Grade 4-5 bass lessons?

Lessons at this level focus on moving beyond basic root notes. You'll work on constructing your own walking bass lines, improvising over chord changes, advanced scale and arpeggio work, and developing a stronger sense of rhythm and groove to prepare you for jam sessions and band playing.

How do I find the right bass tutor for me?

You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other students, and watch their introductory videos. Use the search filters to find tutors with experience in the specific styles you love, whether it's jazz, funk, rock, or blues. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your goals.

Can a tutor help me prepare for my Grade 4 or 5 exam?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors are highly experienced in preparing students for graded music exams from all major exam boards. They can guide you through the syllabus, technical exercises, and performance pieces to ensure you walk into your exam with confidence.

What equipment do I need for online bass lessons?

You'll need your bass guitar and amp, a computer or tablet with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. A pair of headphones can also be very helpful for hearing yourself and your tutor clearly.

How long is a typical bass lesson?

The most common lesson length is one hour, which gives you enough time to warm up, work on new techniques, and review your progress. However, many tutors offer flexible options, such as 30 or 45-minute lessons, to fit your schedule.

How often should I have lessons?

For consistent progress, most students at the Grade 4-5 level opt for one lesson per week. This provides a good balance of new material from your tutor and enough time for you to practice and absorb it on your own.

Can I learn specific bass styles like funk or jazz?

Yes! This is a major benefit of one-to-one tuition. You can ask your tutor to focus on the specific techniques and theory behind your favourite genres. Many of our tutors are specialists in styles like slap bass, jazz improvisation, or rock riffing.

Are tutors familiar with the specific struggles of Grade 4-5 players?

Yes, our expert tutors understand the common plateau that players hit at this level. They specialise in helping students bridge the gap between theory and practical application, turning scales and arpeggios into musical, creative bass lines.
